Every meal at Maritime Conference Center is prepared on site by our own kitchen team. In-house dining and corporate catering are both handled here, so there is no outside caterer to book, no delivery window to manage and no second contract to sign.
Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the Chesapeake Dining Room. Break service is set up near your meeting rooms in the morning and afternoon. Event catering handles receptions, banquets and private group meals when your agenda calls for something separate from the dining room.
Maritime Conference Center is a meetings-only conference campus at 692 Maritime Boulevard in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, minutes from BWI Airport, with complimentary parking and airport shuttle service.
Lunch and both morning and afternoon break service are included in the Day Meeting Package, starting at $149 per person, along with meeting space, AV, Wi-Fi, parking and BWI shuttle service. Breakfast, dinner and event catering are priced separately.
Pricing is subject to applicable sales tax.
The group couldn’t stop raving about the food at lunch. I believe this has now become our new off-site retreat location. Thank you for everything.
The location, conference room, refreshments and lunch were excellent. Your dining facility is amazing! If that was lunch, I can only imagine what dinner service is like.
All meals are served buffet style in the Chesapeake Dining Room and prepared in-house daily. Breakfast, lunch and dinner each include a full salad bar, hot entrées and a dessert selection. Iced tea, Coca-Cola fountain drinks, fresh coffee and hot tea are available at every service.
Groups eat on a set daily schedule, which keeps agendas on time and eliminates the need to plan meal breaks around off-site restaurants or transportation.
The Chesapeake Dining Room is open to anyone who purchases a meal. If your group requires a private setting, private dining space may be available at an additional cost.
